Cardiovascular research holds enormous promise to bring new and innovative strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.  Physician-scientists are vital and necessary members of the cardiovascular research community, as the scientific questions they ask come directly from their experiences in the clinical care of patients with cardiovascular problems. 

The Physician-Scientist Training Program in Cardiovascular Disease at the University of Virginia is dedicated to imbuing physician-scientists with keen clinical insight, strong physiological and pathophysiological understanding, and state-of-the-art cellular, molecular, genetic, and genomic technology expertise.
